Learning from, in, and through crisis

Through lockdowns, masked seminars, self-isolation, changing government guidelines and permeating uncertainty, our students have worked tirelessly to continue to produce lucid, insightful philosophy.

We asked them to reflect on the pandemic through philosophy. They responded with some vital, vibrant insight into university life during the pandemic period. Check out some of their diverse and thought-provoking writing.

There's so much freedom to choose particular areas that you are interested in to study in depth. The lecturers are extremely approachable and break even the most difficult concepts down with ease.
